Development assessment panel

A Development Assessment Panel (DAP) is an independent decision-making body. Under DAP regulations, each DAP determines certain development applications as if they were the responsible authority. For example, if a DAP application is submitted to the City of Subiaco, the application will be assessed against the City’s local planning scheme, relevant local planning policies and Metropolitan Regional Scheme (MRS). 

The DAP comprises technical experts and elected local government representatives. DAPs are established to service multiple local governments.

On 30 January 2024 the Minister for Planning announced changes to the boundaries of DAPs. As of 1 March 2024, the City of Subiaco is part of the Metro Inner DAP which covers the Perth, Vincent, Cambridge, Nedlands, Stirling, Bayswater, Bassendean, Belmont, Victoria Park, South Perth, Canning, Melville, Fremantle, East Fremantle, Mosman Park, Peppermint Grove, Cottesloe and Claremont local government areas.

More information is available on the Development Assessment Panels website.

The agendas and finalised minutes of the Metro Inner DAP are available on the DAP website.

Copies of the signed minutes must be published on the City’s website according to regulation 44(7) of the Planning and Development (Development Assessment Panels) Regulations 2011.

For more information, please contact DAP Secretariat on 6551 9919 or at daps@dplh.wa.gov.au.

Meetings start once a quorum is achieved and the minute-taker is in attendance.

Formalities such as noting the minutes, absences, apologies and disclosures of interest are completed.

The presiding member then invites submitters' presentations to be made. DAP members then consider and discuss the responsible authority’s reports, and determine the applications by consensus or by majority vote.

The presiding member then reports to the panel on any applications to amend/cancel DAP approval and any SAT reviews.

Lastly, any general business is discussed and the meeting is closed. The Standing Orders sets procedures for the efficient administration and operation of DAP meetings.

DAP meetings are open to the public, streamed online and are held at 140 William Street, Perth.

However, in some cases, the meeting may be held at local government facilities. The meeting agenda will establish the location. Contact DAPs on (08) 6551 9919 or daps@dplh.wa.gov.au for further information. 

When a DAP application is advertised under the local planning scheme and/or region schemes, submissions may be sent to the local government. Submitters may also wish to present at the DAP meeting.

Any submitter wishing to address the DAP must send a DAP presentation request form to the DAP Secretariat at least 72 ordinary hours before the meeting by email to daps@dplh.wa.gov.au. 

The presentation request form is to be accompanied by a written document setting out the name of the person or representative of the group, the DAP application it relates to, and the substance of the submission the person or group proposes to make. 

The presiding member has discretion over how many submissions may be received at the meeting. They may approve or refuse a request and decide the order in which presentations are made. All presentations are limited to a maximum of three minutes.

From 1 March 2024, DAPs are a completely opt-in process for any development over $2 million (excluding single houses). There are no mandatory thresholds. 

The following will not be determined by a DAP:

  • Construction of a single house and any associated carport, patio, outbuilding and incidental development.

  • Development in an improvement scheme area.

  • A public work.

  • Development wholly within an area identified as a regional reserve under a region planning scheme.

DAP applications must be assessed following the local government’s standard process set out in its local planning scheme. This includes public advertising, if required, and consultation with internal departments and external referral agencies.

The City must then prepare a Responsible Authority Report (RAR) including a recommendation to the DAP. Applications are determined by the Metro Inner DAP at a special meeting of its members.

When lodging a DAP application, the applicant must submit the application forms and supporting documentation and pay any fees required under the local planning scheme, and those required by DAP regulations. 

DAP application forms and fees are available on the DAP website. The City's application forms and fees are available on the Lodging a development application page. 

Part 11B Significant Development Pathway became operational on 1 March 2024 and provides an assessment option for complex and significant development proposals.

All Part 11B applications will be coordinated by the State Development Assessment Unit (SDAU) within the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage (DPLH). 

More information is available on the Significant Development Pathway website.
